They all suck writing-wise.
Scorbunny's evolution to Raboot was rushed, and while it had that emo phase and a good amount of screentime, once it fully evolved to Cinderace it was simply demoted to the background because it wasn't "cute and marketable" anymore. Very bad for what is supposed to be Goh's equivalent to Pikachu.
Sobble's capture was poorly handled, and when it evolved into Drizzile the writers simply made us forget about it by demoting it to a cave in Cerise's lab. Then when it finally showed, it evolved into Inteleon like, immediately. Most rushed evolution in the series' history to me.
Grookey took too long to debut, its capture episode is one of the worst JN episodes ever, and it hasn't used any moves at all. All it does is just playing troublemaker while trying to look cute. Even if it evolves, expect that to be handled just as badly as the other two.
All in all, giving all three starters to one character has proven to be not a good business practice for the anime as one always overshadows the other two, but what makes it worse in this case is that Goh is nothing but a Pokemon GO marketing tool who doesn't battle most of the time. Journeys as a whole is basically the most corporate-influenced series of the anime to date. It's basically ruined by two words... executive meddling.
